HOLLYWOOD — Ten adults and seven juveniles were arrested by Broward Sheriff`s Office deputies Thursday afternoon during a raid at four businesses and one apartment along North 22nd Avenue between Simms and Hood streets.

The raid followed a two-week investigation which was initiated after residents complained about drug dealing in the area, said Broward County Sheriff Nick Navarro, who was on the scene.

About 50 officers, including members of the SWAT and canine units, surrounded the area, a sheriff`s spokesman said.
